My life12 LIFESAVERS for employees

In the member companies of the BG RCI over the last 12 years, more than 300 individuals suffered a fatal accident during work. A detailed cause analysis shows when the risk is the highest. The result are 12 LIFESAVERS for employees and 12 LIFESAVERS for managers.

In the vast majority of cases, accidents have more than one cause. When employees and managers know the facts, are aware of their joint responsibility and consistently observe and implement the 12 LIFESAVERS together, lives can be saved in the future.

LIFESAVER 4: Routine can be fatal!

Are there any accident hazards at my workplace with a high risk potential?

The facts:90 percent of all fatal work accidents were caused through only five accident types (see figure).

In twelve years, these five accident types alone have cost 270 human lives.

Do I always work consciously and first consider which hazards exist for my own life?

The facts:With 75 percent of the fatal accidents, the victims themselves had worked incorrectly and therefore had a direct influence on the accident occurrence.

Am I aware that careless behaviour can be fatal? How do I classify my own behaviour and that of my colleagues?

The facts:Carelessness was involved with two out of three fatal work accidents. The hazard was so apparent that the managers and the person suffering the accident should have known it.

LIFESAVER 1: Know the facts – avoid danger to life!

LIFESAVER 2: Think first. Then work. But safely!

LIFESAVER 3: Carelessness kills!

Am I amongst the group of the particularly experienced employees? Am I aware that in spite of my experience I need to reassess the risks in every situation? Does it occur that I unnecessarily place myself in danger?

The facts:“Old hands“ carry the highest risk of suffering a fatal accident. More than every third individual suffering an accident belongs to the age-set of the 45 to 54 year-olds with particularly long experience.

LIFESAVER 5: Observe safety rules – stay alive!

Are the necessary safety devices available and do I use them for my own safety? Do I always use the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE)?

The facts:Although the necessary safety devices or the personal protective equipment (e. g. safety belt in vehicle, fall protection, locking device) were in place and functional, they were not used with every fifth fatal work accident.

Am I aware of the company rules for safety at my workplace? Do I always follow these regulations for safe work?

The facts:100 individuals could still be alive if they had observed the company safety rules that were specified and known during their work.

Do I behave defensively and with foresight as a driver and concentrate on the traffic? Do I always seek eye contact with the driver and avoid blind spots as a pedestrian?

The facts:In one out of three fatal work accidents, vehicles (e.g. wheel loaders, trucks, dump trucks, forklift trucks, cars) were involved. Hereby 100 individuals, including nearly 30 pedestrians were killed.

During malfunctions in machines and plants, do I always observe the principle of never acting inconsiderately and on my own authority? In case of doubt, do I always first inform my supervisor?

The facts:During fault clearance, repair and cleaning works on machines and plants 60 individuals were killed because the work instructions were not observed or they improvised.

LIFESAVER 7: Vehicles. Earthmoving machines. Forklift trucks. Danger to life!

LIFESAVER 6: Safety devices. PPE. Protect your life!

LIFESAVER 8: Malfunctions. Cleaning. Maintenance. Highest danger!

3

Am I sure that the safety devices do not show any deficiencies and function reliably? Do I report identified deficiencies? Do I understand that through manipulation to safety devices I do not only endanger myself but also subject my colleagues to a fatal hazard?

The facts:20 individuals were killed during work on machines and plants because the safety devices (e.g. safety light barriers, safety switches, barriers) had been dismounted or were manipulated.

LIFESAVER 9: Manipulated safety devices kill!

Am I aware of the danger of falling from edges or from heights? Do I always secure myself against falling? Am I aware that even a plunge from a low height can have a fatal outcome?

The facts:47 individuals were killed through falling from high working levels. The lowest fall height was less than one meter. Working on ladders and flat roofs (breaking through) can have a fatal outcome.

Do I make sure that I avoid areas as far as possible in which objects can fall down? Do I observe the correct storage and steadfastness of objects? Do I use suitable lifting means during transport?

The facts:45 individuals were struck dead by tipping parts or falling objects. Often the steadfastness was not given or loads were not secured against falling.

Do I know whether there are explosion hazards in my work area? Do I make sure that I only perform work in areas with fire or explosion hazards after approval and exclusively with suitable tools?

The facts:32 individuals were killed through explosions and their consequences.

LIFESAVER 10: Falls kill. Never work without fall protection!

LIFESAVER 11: Falling. Tipping. Collapsing. Danger to life!

LIFESAVER 12: Explosion hazards? Special diligence required!

Meine Verantwortung12 LEBENSRETTER für Führungskrä� e

In den Mitgliedsunternehmen der BG RCI sind in den letzten zwölf Jahren mehr als 300 Menschen bei der Arbeit tödlich verunglückt. Eine detaillierte Ursachenanalyse zeigt, wann das Risiko am höchsten ist. Das Ergebnis sind 12 LEBENSRETTER für Beschäftigte und 12 LEBENSRETTER für Führungskräfte. So gut wie immer ist aber nicht nur eine Ursache dafür verantwortlich, dass es zum Unfallereignis kommt, sondern Unfälle haben oft mehrere Ursachen. Wenn Beschäftigte und Führungskräfte die Fakten kennen, sich ihrer gemeinsamen Verantwortung bewusst sind und gemeinsam die 12 LEBENSRETTER konsequent beachten und umsetzen, können künftig Leben gerettet werden.
